NJICS Municipal Migration Discussion - Statewide

[Markscan]

It doesn't help that some of our dispatchers speak very quickly and sometimes mumble.

I don't want to get off topic but I can tell you that I had an XTS5000 with another agency back in the day and our Quantar was dual analog/digital. Same subscriber, same repeater, same antenna, etc. Digital outperformed analog as far as deciphering the audio at greater distances AND talk in improved. In other words I could key up the repeater from further out.

I will also tell you that coverage decreased using DES-XL encryption...significantly to the point that we didn't even use it. DES-OFB had no change in coverage.

This is all real world. Enough said.

Parsippany Fire and EMS testing on 700mhz system.

Going to be interesting what they find with the PSIC system coverage as the only RF site that covers Parsippany is Randolph. Also, will Parsippany keep their existing paging frequency?

They were testing the Morris County UHF trunked system as well. I think one of the issues is Morris won't let them come over to that systems unless Morris dispatches them. So now they are looking at the NJICS ? Why ? Their current repeater provides better coverage.

Until the state improves their coverage on the Somerset - Morris border, this shouldn't even be considered.

Yeah I don't know their reasoning other than they want to keep their dispatch. But the West Orange Simulcast does get into Parsippany as well as the standalone Randolph site. Fairfield uses NJICS and I haven't heard coverage complaints from them next door.

Wow really? They have tones of channels listed today. That will be interesting.

Parsippany FIRE / EMS Testing NJICS

Parsippany Fire and EMS testing on 700mhz system.

Check this this TG out:
4143 T REMU Test 7 Test Talkgroup 7

I have been monitoring activity on this for the last 36 hours or so mostly late night after midnight and in morning hours between 9:30AM and Noon.
I heard a few street address's that may indeed be in Parsippany?:roll:

Unfortunately that isn't the right talkgroup number. Couldn't even pick up their tests with a wildcard programmed. St p25-7 is the name of the talkgroup

I have to correct myself 4143 is the correct talk group. Scanner didn't pick it up at first.

Does anyone know if they are still testing?

testing is complete

I'm in Verona. Just heard Cedar Grove (town over) on Verona's police channel. How is this getting done? Non njics towns getting some equipment to communicate with njics towns?

 

[APX8000]

Could simply be one radio on the system at dispatch. Dispatch then created a console patch. Without additional information such as the radio ID I can only speculate.

I have heard Cedar Grove is going to move onto NJICS, possibly in 2018. Maybe they were testing for coverage.

Besides Newark Fire and Elizabeth PD and Fire, are any other municipal agencies carried full-time on both the West Orange AND Union Simulcast ?

I don't monitor many PD's but I believe most.of Union County Fire is in both. I tend to listen to WO Simulcast as I can't get Union at work. I know I get Linden and Roselle fire. I have seen many Essex towns on both but haven't truly tried.
